Hi,
The drive took my wife and me about 7 hours from west of Portland, Oregon to Vancouver, B.C. Drive was smooth until we got to Vancouver. We arrived around 5PM for the rush hour. :(
Border crossing northward was a few minutes. Coming back we took a ferry over to Vancouver Island to visit Victoria. The ferry back to the States was a pain. Two
hour quarantine prior to departure and the customs guys did check every Passport.
Regards,
Ray

We did that drive last year and crossed the boarder at 11a after a 2+ hour wait. Did it again this year at 2am with 0 wait. But be prepared to answer lots of questions at the boarder when your the only car there. Or maybe it was the answers I was giving? And yes, that is a beautiful drive. Highly recommend a couple of days extra for a trip to the islands.

The drive up from Sea-Tac is great, especially once
you get to the border. The North Shore mountains, where Phil's shop is,
loom in the distance as you drive up Hwy. 99. I live just off 99 and I
still love the view.
With any luck, Mt. Baker (Wa.) won't be lost in the
mist. Really, really, really big volcano.

Phil,
Thanks
for that info. J Airfare is half the price of
flying into Vancouver, fewer connections, and the car rental is more
economical. Have a family side trip to Oregon that I have to make
also.
